Eagles are the NFC East champions

Four takeaways from Sunday Night Football everyone will be talking about Monday:

1. The Philadelphia Eagles are NFC East champs. With the Eagles’ 24-22 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia clinched an NFC East crown and the third seed in the NFC playoff bracket. The Eagles will host the New Orleans Saints Saturday.

2. LeSean McCoy is the greatest running back in Eagles’ history. McCoy pieced together the best season ever from an Eagles’ runner. He led the NFL in rushing and set multiple Philadelphia records along the way.

3. Different Cowboys’ quarterback, same result. Kyle Orton played well in Tony Romo’s absence. Orton threw for 358 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also threw two interceptions, including a game-ending turnover when the Cowboys still had an opportunity to win the game.

Overall, Kyle Orton proved why he's one of the best backups in the NFL. Tough situation to come into, he played well #FOAud

4. The Cowboys’ defense came to life. Sunday’s game may be the last in the long and illustrious career of Cowboys defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin. Kiffin’s defense has been shredded throughout the season, and the Cowboys may go in another direction next season. But, Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones backed Kiffin through the final games of the season. The veteran coach rewarded Jones with a strong game plan and performance, even in a loss.

Who are these guys playing defense for the #Cowboys? Monte Kiffin's revenge!
